Ric Flair Posted 10 June 2021 Share Posted 10 June 2021 17 minutes ago, Happy Fox said: I would want us to spend big money on a replacement if Youri leaves we cannot afford to gamble on KDH. He's become our most important player, there aren't many around with his skill set but I'd want us to try and get someone in who's got incredible potential. KDH will keep improving but it would be ridiculous to put all our hope and faith in him being on the same level as Tielemans and without that we struggle to compete for top 6 again.

If he goes( which I doubt) we play a different way. We have tried to play the Man.City way with patchy results. Solid defending and then fast breakouts from Barnes and ,hopefully Soumaré and Édouard, is the way to go. I don't therefore see a regular role for Maddison in that set up. That method has long been employed by Atletico and has made them competitive against the much richer Real and Barcelona. Its been noticeable to me that we don't move well enough off the ball to play possession football to the standard of Man.City so why keep trying. Even then Chelsea have shown how that style of football can be undermined and defeated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeg67 Posted 10 June 2021 Share Posted 10 June 2021 I'll say this - the Dutch have the same chance to win the Euros with or without Youri. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's other classy central midfielders around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grebfromgrebland Posted 10 June 2021 Share Posted 10 June 2021 Without Youri and a misfiring Madison we're mid table at best, especially with Barnes, Justin out and ineffective Vardy as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf mate, say that to most upper teams and they're upper mid table.

People seem to forget that good teams either take time to blend in together or cost a fortune - in the latter case hoping that exceptional technical skill and spatial awareness will produce an 'instant' formula-for-success. He's a critical player at a critical time for 'project Leicester'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he comes back to a massive bid from a massive club and he's saying he wants out, I doubt we'll keep an unhappy player. We'll be working behind the scenes to identify who we want to replace him and if they are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_77 Posted 10 June 2021 Share Posted 10 June 2021 4 hours ago, The whole world smiles said: In my opinion youri is in rarefied air and the list of clubs with the stature to attract him is short. Probably Real madrid - broke Barcelona - broke Juventus - mega broke Man city - possible Man United - would have to sell pogba first you would have thought. Liverpool - possible Chelsea - possible Bayern munich - possible Psg - possible You would hope that clubs of that magnitude would have their summer targets already in place after years of careful planning and scouting and won't be swayed by a one of tournament. Also unlike Mahrez he doesn't want out at any cost and is fairly settled in Leicestershire. Madrid and Barcelona have always been “broke” but that’s never stopped them from paying absurd fees and wages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc_forever Posted 10 June 2021 Share Posted 10 June 2021 4 minutes ago, Long Eaton Fox said: does anyone have any concrete news All we know for sure is contractual negotiations are ongoing, and unlikely to be resolved until after the European Championships. The fact negotiations are ongoing suggests Tielemans is interested in extending his contract. But he'll have a stronger hand if he has an excellent tournament so makes sense from his perspective to wait, rather than agree a deal now.
